Default black and white inks for making digital negatives/prints?

I know it's possible to purchase "B&W" inks comprised of black with shades
of gray to replace the Cc,M,Y, cartridges in my old Epson 1270, but I don't
know where to buy inks with a good reputation for this purpose.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt Clara

That's a new one to me; my inkjet printer produces shades of gray by the
amount of black it uses to cover the area being printed, no matter how small
the area.
(The white is the paper being printed on)

On the very rare occasion when I might have to ask a related question; I
weed-out my news-group printer, supplies, and inks ideas from:

comp.periphs.printers

alt.comp.periphs.printers and the rest of the news-groups this question is
directed to just ain't gonna cut it.

I'd redirect this there for you, but you need the learning experience.
You'll remember better next time. Ye ol' "give fish or teach to fish"
thing.

[chuckle] In the darkroom? With what developer, pray tell - good old
Dektol? How about Bromofort? Perhaps Selectol-Soft to cut down that
contrast? Or maybe Ilford PQ Universal Paper Developer? Or even Arista
Liquid Paper Developer?

Perhaps if you're too ignorant to understand what it is I'm asking you
should just keep your mouth shut? Or is running your mouth without any
thought just how you "roll"?

It works fine for me as well.
Don Schmidt's problem must be either with his ISP or their upstream
provider.
